|
| Add an AIM Buddy |
buddy,aim:addbuddy?groupname=My Buddies&screenname=%s |
PowerRad |
Use for quickly adding someone to your AIM buddy list. Since you only get one parameter replacement, you might want to designate a buddy group just for GeoCommandTime entries, unless you keep your buddies in one group anyway. Or just put in the group that you're most likely to add screen names to. |
| Start Half-Life |
hl,c:\half-life\hl.exe -console -nojoy -noipx -numericping +connect %s |
PowerRad |
For Half-Life junkies like me g Just plug in the IP and you'll be connected. This approach'll probably work with most other online games too. Note: In some cases, it may be easier to make a .bat file that CDs to the game directory + runs the game with the parameter (%1 in the .bat = %s in the alias), and make an alias to that .bat instead. Just recounting some trouble someone had on the boards awhile back because the plain alias couldn't find their Soldier of Fortune 2 .cfg files. |
| Join an IRC Channel |
irc,irc://irc.dal.net:6667/ %s |
IdiotWind |
Somewhat useful when you're browsing, and websites/clans have channels on IRC. http://www.mirc.com must be installed for this to work, though it needn't be running at the time (mIRC will start automatically if it's not). You might also want to just use irc://%s, since it gives you freedom over the network you connect to (and it's not that much harder to type "irc network/#channel". |
